Home prices were on a "one-way street" -- namely up. But as we know, the trend in real estate prices did an abrupt U-turn. Now it's traveling swiftly in the opposite lane. How long will this downward trend continue?...

With a double-dip housing recession and foreclosures accounting for 28% of all U.S. home sales in April, the housing debacle is the gift that keeps on taking away. Elliott Wave International began warning about the consequences of too much credit in the U.S. economy and the housing markets in the early 2000s. What does it say now?

According to the most recent quarterly real estate market survey from Zillow.com, the percentage of U.S. homes UNDERWATER -- i.e., those whose market values are below what's owed on them -- soared from 20% in August 2010 to 27% today. On top of that, home prices continue to decline while foreclosure rates rose to a new, all-time record high. (February 10, 2011 Associated Press)

Remember late last year when the federal government tried slowing the foreclosure crisis? Scores of mortgage companies were "asked" to help strapped homeowners stay in their homes. A program was set up to reduce mortgage rates to as low as 2 percent for five years. What a deal! What a -- dud. Well, seems like many home owners have found a new way of dealing with the foreclosure crisis.

Whether you get your news from the internet, TV, or the newspaper (if your town still has one) the health care debate is everywhere. Town Hall meetings across the country have turned into mob scenes and in some instances, riots.

Well, here we are – a year-and-a-half since the start of the crisis, and hardly out of the woods. While we at EWI take pride in having prepared our subscribers, we take no pleasure in watching the devastation that this crisis has been causing. But it is here.
